Summary Bracket Levels can be used when an order needs to be built up to a specific level/weight. The best example is when the user must build the order to fill a truck. Set the unit to 3/Weight. Enter the bracket levels based on the weight of one truck.  One truck can carry 42,000 lbs of product. We know that the manufacturer will only ship in truck loads. So we set the bracket levels so that each level is for the next truck size. Up to 9 bracket levels can be created. If not used the system will not build to any specific level. It will order what is needed to replenish inventory.   Note: When building to a fixed size container, turn on the Precise Flag. It adds additional inventory in 10th’s of a day so it will fit more exactly in the cargo space.  One way to get here: 1. Suppliers - Selected from the main menu Option 1=Select - from the Supplier Maintenance screen F18=Bracket Levels - Gets you here

User Sub Pages K3S_2000 - Supplier Maintenance Change Option 1 from this screen takes you here. Much more detail is available when using this option. K3S_3270 Product Bracket Level Costs Displays regular cost and Level 1 cost. You can toggle through all the levels.
